this case apart and put it back together oh boy wow that was scary okay guys I
have a treat for you today it
is much anticipated for me at least the1
air mini this is Leon Le's mesh case
that fits an ATX form factor motherboard
but it's small still and uh I'm really
excited Let's uh let's get it open now what I'm excited for with this
case is the modularity so you can take
this case and it'll fit an ATX it'll fit
an ITX it'll fit matx and it says it even fits eatx but I
don't really believe it so we'll have to find out there but uh let's I hate
getting cases out of
boxes wow look at all that mesh oh what
do we have here a little goody radiator off mounting bracket ah yes so these are
so we can put in the as long of a rad as we can fit I think it's 240 mil Max in
this thing got a nice big thick I think it's 3
mm uh glass panel and we have mesh on
four sides front top back the right side
and on the bottom we don't have mesh but we do have a fan
filter this has a rather large chungus
to pull it out but it work works well
enough we have a 120 mm fan in the back
and that's pwm and up front kind of hard to see cuz it's mesh but can you see
that we got two 140s up front uh right
now it's in the S IO slot configuration
you can make this uh five slots and that
will move the motherboard slot down and that gives you a little bit of extra
radiator clearance up in the top cuz you are a little limited just I think it's
25 mm top spacing Max so you'd have to run a thin red if you wanted to run
something up here with an ATX motherboard uh we do have support for a
full ATX power supply in here which is super nice especially when you start
getting into a higher wattages things get a little bit expensive
um let's uh let's open it up and take a look
inside these absolute chungus thumb
screws which ones do I even do there's so many of them okay that one's top for
sure uh there is no filter so Leon Lee claims that this mesh is fine enough to
keep dust out uh I have my doubts but it is pretty fine but at the same time that
will affect airf flow so time will tell
and that's something I can't unfortunately do for you on short
circuit uh okay where are we here does it slide ah okay once you get the top
off this just slides out there's two little retention pegs that slot into
these slots here we got the two 140 Ms
that's nice to see it's you know this case is I think $100 um for the black
and 110 for the white and that's not a small amount of money
but the fact that it comes with fans like that's what 30 40 bucks there so
that's nice and they match which is which is nice we've got oh derau hello
so when it says derau you know they take a little bit of consideration into
cooling which is nice given all all the
fans and uh we have this is really
interesting and we're going to test this you can fit four hard drives in here
apparently and two ssds that is a lot of storage we have the io
comes down in the back comes up through these two ports these don't have any
grommets but these do which is nice okay uh why don't we try starting to fit some
stuff in let's start with the uh power supply I got a big old bin of Parts here
I know there is a length limitation I think it's 200 mm on this case so we're
going to hope this fits I have hopes and
dreams I mean anything that comes in a velvet
bag uh fan side uh-oh uh-oh will she
go no oh no no she'll she'll go she'll go
no like like it's in
there oh jeez why that's a Phillips come
on okay well it's it's barely in there see
if I can get it to actually fully
seat like that okay so the little little elevation down there for airf flow
that's kind of nice ah okay so this is
the hard drive accessories and this is the blockoff plate so if you want to
make in an matx or smaller case you put
this guy up at the top here and every one of
these panels moves down and you remove these bottom two panels I think you're
pushing it with that that no the okay
here's why I grabb that KN to Fan it's just not just because I'm wearing the shirt today they claim it holds a 290
mm uh Tower cooler and the D15 is 285 mm
so if it fits I'll be very happy you know air
cooling is the way to go I'm just putting out there water cooling yeah
it's cool and all you got liquids running around and looks all pretty but
air cooling got a nice big hole cut out in the back so I can kind of avoid h no
I should probably put the plate on cuz there seems to be that hard drive sled in the way so we'll pull out the d115
while we're at it amount of times I've pulled d15s out of boxes here is too
damn High come on get in your
hole good dog I don't know it is right up against
that fan there oh yeah no she goes
uhhuh I don't even know what I was worried about and I could see it fitting
eatx you know a little bit further up but you wouldn't be holding anything on
here not we're not doing no no no no we're just we're just
testing compatibility here it's all the all we got time for yeah if you want to
see a whole build of this case you're going to have to bug lonus you know hit
him right at Twitter just be like yo I want to see this case looks so cool
build something in it usually mounted this
way so you want to put it so that the slots in the tower cooler give you
clearance for your RAM which while I'm here I might as well put in
uh when you get to PL Cy man you just get to go grab
whatever you feel and I grab some Trident Z Neo 3600 MHz around cuz I
thought it looked cool right now I'm pushing the uh the the mounting plate
back up through the hole so I can get the thumb studs on or the thumb nuts on
didn't ever say PC Building was glamorous sometimes you just got to give a PC a good
hug we don't need to put in fans or anything there plenty of RAM clearance
cuz it's a D15 who am I kidding oh man I
asked for a GPU jonno not a brick well it is literally it's a dummy
GPU so it is a brick but holy moly this is
huge I guess there's no better test than to I feel bad for the pciu
slot there's maybe an inch of
clearance oh boy yeah no we're we're
going to have to go down a slot CU that's right there good get a little bit
of air flow the other option is they do make a
right angle kit so you can just turn this whole plate sideways we don't have
one but uh that guy ain't fitting either
okay if you had a normal person graphics card you could probably pull that off
but we do not we've got a GPU in here and it is large and in
charge oh boy that got way
heavier I mean it went in without aair and that is about as big as you're ever
going to want to fit in a case like this and uh yeah I'm kind of impressed it fit
that's why CH it well yeah yeah it was a good call jonno at the end of the day
good call I didn't even talk about the io how did I forget that okay up front
super nice to see we have USBC up front critical in these
times two USB 3.0 power button and a
combo USB headphone jack kind of wish they had separate Jacks it's just nice
but you know Beggars can't be choosers sorry yes combo headphone mic
Jack and uh yeah Power this is
illuminated oh hard drives we're going to try and fit four hard drives and two
ssds in the back a we'll do that and then I think uh we we'll we'll bring her
home okay I found the oldest hard drives
in the LT inventory uh this one I believe is item
number 18 in the inventory
system yeah b0016 this is the 16th item
we ever inventoried I'm not going to get too crazy and actually bow them all in
cuz that sounds timec consuming but you know more or less two
there wait there's more then we have
this sled over here these guys go on
this bracket that we pulled
off like that's just just nice one Fastener you have one that goes there
one that would go on the underside under there I mean yeah it'll fit all of these
things it's going to weigh a ton but it'll fit it it'll fit four hard drives
two ssds and whatever graphics cards you
can throw at it and anything ATX and smaller I mean this is a great option
for someone who wants this aesthetic this form factor I'm just talking from a
hey I took this case apart and put it back together oh
boy
wow what is even holding it in still minus one
point sketchy glass retention and oh
yeah just for you
guys
static there we are this is a clearly
well thought out case you know there are
a lot of parts that if they didn't fit together perfectly here they wouldn't
work at all and uh it's impressive that
they do fit together and they like made
such a solid case out of the whole thing all in all you have dust filtration the
whole way around hopefully good breathability um something we can't
really test here but given all the mesh I can assume there's going to be a lot
of air flow and uh the form factor is nice it's wider than a normal case but
Squat and small and cute and it's white
I'm going to say this is a good option if you're looking for something in this form factor I'd seriously consider
taking a look at this went together pretty well comes with fans Price is
Right you know made by reputable makers
well that's it for our first look at the1 air if uh you like our case videos
